Blind Eye

Americans
Like their coffee
Like their sugar
Like their tobacco
Like their marijuana
Like their alcohol
Like their porn
Like their smart phones
Like their cognitive dissonance
Like their TV
Like their sports
Like their soap operas
Like their oil
Like their fancy restaurants
Like their fast food
Like their diplomas
Like their debt
Like their status
Like their idols
Like their cancer
Like their diabetes
Like their heavy metal
Like their pensions
Like their Hollywood
Like their escapism
Like their wars
Like their righteousness
Like their crosses
Like their scapegoats
Like their herd
Like their flag
Like their bankers
Like their political correctness
Like their large guts
Like their high blood pressure
Like their medications
Like their heroin chic
Like their pet causes
Like their advancements
Like their corporate ladders
Like their hierarchy
Like their President
Like their Congress
Like their judges
Like their Conservatism
Like their Liberalism
Like their trendiness
Like their too-cool-for-school attitude
Like their sunglasses
Like their pollution
Like their poisoned sky
Like their toxic rivers
Like their pacifiers
Like their bottles
Like their cradles
Like their blankets
Like their diapers
Like their bullshit
Like their machismo
Like their masochism
Like their sadism
Like their guilt complex
Like their Bibles
Like their distractions
Like any damn thing
That will keep them
From seeing the truth
